All mirrors must be synchronized every four hours, starting at midnight in your

81

local time zone. This helps distribute the load out over a period of time,

Your mirror may not be added immediately to our listing and given access to the

93

private distribution point. We add mirrors on an as-needed basis so as not to

clutter up the listing, and to provide an adequate amount of high speed mirrors.

You are more than welcome to peek in <uri

link="irc://irc.gentoo.org/gentoo-mirrors">#gentoo-mirrors</uri> on IRC and chat

97

up to see the status of your mirror being added to our official network.
